I receive Michael Nystrom's announcement list and it is always an interesting and brief read. (The importance of brevity cannot be understated.)

Here's a nice collection of stories - 1, 2 and 3 - that he has published recently. Fascinating stuff to a part-time history buff like me, and it always helps to maintain perspective in times like these. History does rhyme, as Mark Twain apparently did not say.
